Overview
Nitrates reduce both preload and afterload in the setting of congestive heart failure and thereby relieve symptoms.
Vasodialators
Background
- A nitrate may be added to ACE inhibitors to relieve symptoms of pulmonary edema
- The addition of a nitrate to an ACE inhibitor may improve exercised tolerance.
- The combination of hydralazine and nitrates is useful in patients with advanced heart failure.[1] and in particularly, when ACE inhibitors are not well tolerated.
- Hydralazine by itself is only an arterial vasodilator and does not reduce left ventricular filling pressures to the same extent as nitrates and ACE inhibitors do. In fact, when used alone it can stimulate sympathetic tone reflexively. The combination of hydralazine and nitrates has been shown to decrease mortality as well as improve the left ventricular ejection fraction and exercise capacity in patients with heart failure. However, the combination of hydralazine and nitrates have been found to be less effective than ACE inhibitors.
- The primary use of this combination is in those patients who are intolerant of ACE inhibitors.
2022 AHA/ACC/HFSA Heart Failure Guideline (DO NOT EDIT) [2]
Hydralazine and Isosorbide Dinitrate
Class I |
"1. For patients self-identified as African American with NYHA class III-IV HFrEF who are receiving optimal medical therapy, the combination of hydralazine and isosorbide dinitrate is recommended to improve symptoms and reduce morbidity and mortality. [3][1] (Level of Evidence: A) " |
Value Statement: High Value |
"2. For patients self-identified as African American with NYHA class III to IV HFrEF who are receiving optimal medical therapy with ACEi or ARB, beta blockers, and MRA, the combination of hydralazine and isosorbide dinitrate provides high economic value.[4] (Level of Evidence: A) " |
Class IIb |
"3. In patients with current or previous symptomatic HFrEF who cannot be given first-line agents, such as ARNi, ACEi, or ARB, because of drug intolerance or renal insufficiency, a combination of hydralazine and isosorbide dinitrate might be considered to reduce morbidity and mortality. [5][6] (Level of Evidence: C-LD) " |
